Alongside the launch of its Razr flip phones, and Moto Watch Fit, Motorola has introduced the Moto Buds Loop, its first pair of open-ear earbuds. Designed to combine comfort, sound quality, and seamless integration with Motorola and Android devices, the Moto Buds Loop provide a stylish audio solution for users who want to stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying music and calls. Motorola partnered with Bose for the sound and with Swarovski for a fashion-forward design. I love the Swarovski edition — it looks more like an elegant piece of jewelry than an electronic device.

Open-Ear Design and Fit

The Moto Buds Loop use an open-ear design, allowing ambient noise to pass through so that users can remain situationally aware. This makes them suitable for commuters, athletes, or anyone who prefers not to be completely isolated from their environment. The earbuds feature a lightweight frame and a secure, ergonomic fit designed for extended wear throughout the day.

Sound and Voice Features

Equipped with 12 mm ironless drivers, the earbuds aim to deliver high-quality sound with a balance of clarity and depth. They are tuned using Sound by Bose technology, a collaboration that enhances the earbuds’ ability to render detailed music playback and dialogue. In addition, spatial sound support adds dimension to movies and games.

For calls, the Moto Buds Loop feature a dual-microphone system enhanced with CrystalTalk AI. This system reduces ambient noise while isolating the speaker’s voice, for clear communication even in noisy environments like public transportation or busy streets.

AI Integration and Smart Features

The earbuds are powered by Moto AI, which offers voice-command functionality when paired with compatible Motorola smartphones. Users can trigger actions such as checking notifications or starting a voice recording hands-free. Integration with Smart Connect also allows seamless device switching between Motorola and Lenovo devices, enabling multitasking without manual reconnection.

Build Quality and Battery

Motorola designed the Moto Buds Loop with durability in mind. The earbuds are water-repellent, providing basic resistance to rain and sweat, although they are not waterproof or meant for submersion. This makes them suitable for light workouts and outdoor use in varied weather conditions.

According to the manufacturer, the device is expected to deliver up to 8 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, with an additional 29 hours available from the charging case, for a total of up to 37 hours of use.

Design Variants

The Moto Buds Loop are offered in Pantone-curated colors, including Trekking Green and French Oak with crystals by Swarovski. The Swarovski variant blends technology with jewelry-style aesthetics, marking the beginning of a partnership between Motorola and Swarovski.

Availability

The Moto Buds Loop are set to launch in selected regions starting in Summer 2025. Availability and color options may vary by market.

AI company Perplexity announced in February that it was building its own browser called Comet. In a recent interview with the TBPN podcast, CEO Aravind Srinivas gave some insight as to why the business appeared to be branching out from its artificial intelligence focus: It’s to collect user data and sell them targeted advertisements.

“That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” he said. “We plan to use all the context to build a better user profile and, maybe you know, through our discover feed we could show some ads there.”

If that all sounds familiar, it could be become Google’s Chrome browser has taken a similar approach. In fact, Comet is built on Chromium, the open-source browser base from Google. That’s not to say Perplexity wouldn’t take the chance to go straight to the source and acquire Chrome in the aftermath of Google’s recent monopoly court ruling regarding online search. In the ongoing hearings about Google and its potential sale of Chrome, Chief Business Officer Dmitry Shevelenko said he thought Perplexity would be able to continue running the browser at its current scale. Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t too keen on OpenAI acquiring the property.
